4 Vision: trends and challenges Trends Challenges Convergence of computing, storage and networks Launching new services is difficult, takes too long and often requires New virtualization technologies (e.g. Network Function Virtualization, NFV) proprietary boxes to be integrated into existing systems Software Defined Networking (SDN) Huge capital investment to deal with current trends Complexity: large and increasing variety of proprietary hardware appliances in operator s network Lack of flexibility and agility: no ability to move network resources where/ when needed

6 Main drivers NFV Network functions and software running on any open standards-based hardware ORCHESTRATION Automation, provisioning and interworking of physical and virtual resources SDN Separation of control and data plane 7

8 a framework for the dynamic placement of virtualized network functions Placement Engine: Placement of the virtual routers The best place is chosen according to a set of constraints and policies 9

9 a framework for the dynamic placement of virtualized network functions Placement Engine: Placement of the virtual routers The best place is chosen according to a set of constraints and policies Monitoring Manager: Physical and virtual resources are monitored by probes Collected data are used by the engine for the placement 10

11 Placement Engine: Least Used Collect the number of virtual routers allocated to each physical host that has the least number of virtual routers If more than one host is at the minimum level, then a random host is chosen Load balancing algorithm trying to get a similar number of routers on each host 12

12 Placement Engine: Least Busy Determine the host that is least busy in terms of virtual network traffic Collect monitoring data from all the virtual routers in the virtual network and calculate how much virtual traffic has been sent on each of the hosts The host that has the lowest amount of traffic since the last placement decision is chosen as the host for the current placement 13

13 Conclusion and next steps As a proof of concept, architectural elements have been designed and implemented and some experimental results using the VLSP testbed presented We have shown how the Placement Engines can allocate different virtual routers on different physical hosts depending on several factors (i.e. infrastructure metrics or VN metrics) The results presented demonstrate that the different embedded algorithms in each Placement Engines give very different placement strategies for each virtual routers It is expected that over time the placement algorithms for virtual routers will become more complex and factor-in metrics from both infrastructure and virtual resources, and also to consider placement across multiple data centers 14
